The unique scenery on a rainy day adds a touch of mystery and poetry~

Rain falls on Huaqing Palace Raindrops weave diagonally into Huaqing Palace, as if draping this thousand-year-old palace garden in a layer of misty veil. The surface of the Nine-Dragon Pool is dotted with fine silver patterns from the raindrops, and the ripples reflect the Flying Frost Hall. The red walls and dark tiles blur into a light ink painting in the rain and mist. The copper bells under the corridor gently sway with raindrops wrapped by the wind, their tinkling sound mingling with the rain, sounding even more serene than the silk and bamboo music of the flourishing Tang Dynasty. On the wet white jade steps, moss glistens with water light, as if still bearing the traces of ancient people treading through the rain. Occasionally, raindrops fall from the eaves, splashing fine flowers on the bluestone slabs, then seeping into the history through the cracks between bricks. At this moment, Huaqing Palace sheds the daytime hustle and bustle, leaving only the private whispers of rain and time, beautifully quiet and enduring. Be sure to visit the Tang Imperial Hot Spring Ruins Museum, which houses five royal hot spring pools from the Sui and Tang dynasties, including Emperor Xuanzong’s Lotus Pool, Consort Yang’s Begonia Pool, and Emperor Taizong’s Star Pool. These are precious archaeological remains that testify to the saying "the hot spring water is smooth enough to wash away the finest skin." You can also visit the five-room hall at the site of the Xi’an Incident, where bullet holes from the gunfight remain, restoring the historical scene. Additionally, the ticket includes access to garden architectural complexes such as Jiulong Lake, Furong Lake, and the Palace of Eternal Life, allowing you to appreciate the style of Tang Dynasty royal gardens. 2. The entire Lishan Scenic Area: includes core attractions such as the Beacon Tower where the "Beacon Fire Play with the Lords" legend took place, the Laomu Palace dedicated to the Old Mother of Lishan, and the Bingjian Pavilion where Chiang Kai-shek hid during the Xi’an Incident. You can hike or take the cable car (at your own expense) up the mountain to overlook the panoramic view of Lintong and the full view of Huaqing Palace. The 120 yuan ticket is truly a "one price, double enjoyment," combining historical depth and scenic value. From a cultural perspective, it covers historical relics from three key periods: the Zhou, Tang, and modern times—allowing you to touch tangible evidence of the Sui and Tang royal hot spring culture and personally experience the historical site of the Xi’an Incident. It’s like stepping into a three-dimensional "millennium history museum." From a touring experience perspective, one ticket connects the palace ruins at the foot of the mountain with the natural scenery on the mountain. You can watch the sunset from the Beacon Tower and explore ancient sites along the Lishan trail, achieving a dual harvest of cultural and natural landscapes. The ticket also supports multiple entries and exits on the same day. If paired with the evening "Song of Everlasting Regret" performance (tickets sold separately), you can explore the ruins during the day and enjoy the live performance at night, making for a more cost-effective and immersive experience.
